Chapter 137 The perfect curtain call of the basketball god

Wizards fans were waiting for the latest news about Jiang Dalin's injury. When they knew that Jiang Dalin had to rest for more than a week, they suddenly panicked.

Their mentality was the same as when Michael Jordan heard the news.

Without Jiang Dalin, how will we play in the next game against the Lakers!?

But soon they no longer worried.

News came from Los Angeles that a small bone fragment appeared in Shaquille O'Neal's knee, and it happened to be stuck on the bone. He needed surgery to remove it. Otherwise, the knee would be swollen like a steamed bun, and it would be difficult to reduce the swelling.

Moreover, conservative treatment is not very effective in this case.

Surgery often means there will be a long recovery period.

"Shark" probably won't be able to swim back before the end of the finals.

Since Shaq isn't playing, it won't be a problem for Jiang Dalin to rest.

The fans on the street couldn't help but celebrate the championship.

Kobe saw this scene while sitting on the bus and was very angry, but in the second game of the Finals, he did not give the response he wanted to give.

108 to 95…

Kobe left with his head lowered. He had already prepared his words tonight: Washington, don't think it's safe.

It's a pity that I couldn't use it.

If the last game allowed Kobe to see the personal impact of Shaq's absence on the Lakers, then in this game he tasted the hardship of leading the team alone.

Originally, he thought he had encountered the highest level of defense, but from tonight's perspective, it was indeed only the level of defense enjoyed by the second-in-command.

Opponents would short him sometimes, but they would never short Shaquille O'Neal.

And tonight, he also felt what is called "never let the opponent open" defensive countermeasures.

In fact, before tonight's game started, Kobe wrote a script for himself:

Because the Lakers lacked Shaquille O'Neal and lost the soul of the team, they played very passively at first. But at this time, he stood up, just like Superman took off his glasses or Spider-Man put on his mask.

Standing in front of everyone on the Lakers team, he didn't even look back, just looking at his opponent.

But he said it to the teammates behind him: "Follow my rhythm, and I will lead you to victory!"

Then he led the team to a comeback, severely slapping the fans in Washington and the media who said that without Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers would definitely return to Los Angeles with a 0-2 deficit.

As a result, in this script of pure personal heroism, he got the beginning and the process right, but he failed to guess the ending.

Well, actually this is quite normal. Good scripts have unexpected endings.

The Lakers started passively, and Kobe did step up and fully demonstrate his increasingly sophisticated personal abilities. But...the teammates behind him failed to rush up with him.

Instead, they all grabbed his legs, making it impossible for him to run...

It’s really hard to be the backbone of a team!

He never thought he would miss the fat man.

But at this moment, Kobe must admit that he kind of wants Shaq to give him a hug...

Like the hug Michael Jordan is giving Hamilton right now...

The "Mask Man" was completely confused. The moment he was hugged by Michael Jordan, he truly felt that he had succeeded in chasing stars...

There is also a reason why Jordan hugged Hamilton passionately.

Because he himself pulled in this game.

The shooting feel is not very good.

Without Jiang Dalin to contain him inside, Michael Jordan's pressure on holding the ball suddenly increased a lot. The space to go to the high post was also repeatedly compressed.

Coupled with Kobe’s stalking...

At one point, he missed 5 shots in a row.

Fortunately, there is Hamilton in this game.

10 of 21 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws. Hamilton shot almost 50% from the field and about 72% from the three-point range, scoring the Wizards' highest score of 29 points.

points, helping the Wizards win the second game of the series with Kobe Bryant scoring 36 points.

However, Michael Jordan's shooting percentage was not high and he scored only 21 points. However, he was not merciful at the critical moment. At 1 minute and 13 seconds of the fourth quarter, it was his mid-range shot that helped the Wizards re-establish a 10-point lead.

Point difference.

The Lakers' last counterattack was stopped just like that...

The DJ at the scene shouted excitedly: "2-0, I hope the Wizards come back here, but I know they won't come back here!"

This is what Wizards fans want to say.

Next are three consecutive away games. If we want to play the sixth game, it means that the score is 3 to 2. Whether it is the leading side or the lagging side, this is not a good result.

so……

"Heroes of Washington, let's hold the trophy in Los Angeles!"

Although this is the first time the Wizards have won the championship trophy in 24 years, winning the trophy away from home is indeed the safest picture!

They don’t mind seeing the O’Brien Trophy two days late…

It was two days after Kobe met Shaquille O'Neal again. In the first game of the Finals, it was discovered that there was indeed a bone fracture in his knee. He immediately returned to Los Angeles with the team doctor and underwent surgery.

The operation went smoothly and it is expected to recover in half a month...

Of course, he should have no hope in this round of the finals.

But there is nothing we can do about it. No one wants to think about injuries, but even if they want to happen, they are indeed unavoidable.

"I also had toe surgery by the way, and man, Shaq will be back on the court fully healthy next season!"

This news made Kobe very happy.

Because Shaquille O'Neal originally didn't plan to have surgery on his toe. One reason was that it would take time to recover. But after another surgery on his toe, he didn't have that many excuses to rest.

This season he only played 67 games and missed 15 games. If nothing changes in the future, he will rest for about 15 games every season.

This is why Kobe became increasingly dissatisfied later.

In his opinion, Shaquille O'Neal is the core of the team and should lead by example. Since he cannot lead by example, he should not dominate the boss position.

But now, Shaquille O'Neal has undergone toe surgery, and one of the issues that intensified the conflict is gone.

Jiang Dalin was a little surprised when he saw the news. Unexpectedly, this injury actually made Shaquille O'Neal agree to undergo toe surgery.

Then won’t he be even more terrifying next season?

In the original 2002-03 season, the Lakers lost to the Spurs because Shaquille O'Neal's toe problem that was treated conservatively worsened and he had to withdraw from the game. This caused the Lakers to stop in the second round of the playoffs...

The conflict between the "ok" combination intensified, and Horry was thrown out by the Lakers as the scapegoat for the loss in the 2002-03 season.

Popovich picked up a "Mr. Key" for nothing...

Then Jiang Dalin also thought about the conflict between Kobe and Shaquille O'Neal.

If Shaq really recovers and no longer rests frequently causing the team to lose games, will there not be such a big conflict between him and Kobe?

besides……

In this round of the finals, Kobe is leading the team alone and has experienced in advance how difficult it is to be the boss. Will it allow him to ease his relationship with Shaquille O'Neal?

After all, judging from the first two games of the Finals, the Lakers need and rely heavily on Shaquille O'Neal, and in this league, it is somewhat difficult to find an inside player with similar abilities to Shaquille O'Neal.

If the "ok" group doesn't break up...

Jiang Dalin didn't dare to think any further.

How could this ridiculous plot develop like this?

In fact, the original "ok" group only found out that each other was their most suitable partner after they separated. Otherwise, there would not have been the "meeting and smiling and forgetting grudges" at the 2009 All-Star Weekend.

When they were holding the All-Star MVP trophy together, perhaps they were also thinking about whether they could have had a more brilliant career if they had not separated...

At this moment, Kobe has realized this in advance!

This alliance is becoming less and less like the alliance in my memory.

However, Jiang Dalin was not sure if it was because of his absolute confidence in his abilities, but he was a little bit excited.

As for why the third game is approaching, all Jiang Dalin can think about is next season... The reason is also very simple. He still sat on the sidelines in the third game, which means that even if he plays the fourth game of the series, even if he plays in the fourth game of the series,

There is still the fifth game in the series, and he won't win the FMVP. Since this season is to make a wedding dress for an old man, there is nothing to think about.

The documentary "Legacy" has been released. Regardless of whether the old man retires or not next season, he will be the absolute core of the team. Hamilton will not have any objections. After all, he is the person chosen by his idol!

Jiang Dalin naturally hopes that in his first season as the core, he can lead the team to the finals and win the championship. Now that he sees that the "ok" combination may become even more terrifying next season, he is also a little worried and longing for it.

Very normal thing.

Game 3 of the Finals came as scheduled. Staples was occupied by die-hard Lakers fans that night. Huge boos filled the audience. Haywood and Bobby Simmons had a bit of anxiety on their faces.

Originally, they thought that they had experienced the baptism of the Eastern Conference Finals and the atmosphere of the first two games of the Finals. They had experienced some big scenes.

But now it seems that they are still too young!

Compared with what they have experienced, compared with the boos in front of them, there is still a distance.

However, the boos affected the rookies, and "veterans" like Michael Jordan didn't panic at all. Instead, it reminded him of his first trip to the finals in his career.

Also at Staples Arena, we faced the Purple and Gold Army led by "Magic" Johnson.

It was also in that series that Michael Jordan took over the banner and became the leader of the NBA.

11 years have passed in a flash.

Returning here on the stage of the finals, the eyes of the young man opposite made him feel familiar. This moment was exactly the same as that moment.

Of course, Kobe is obviously not as mature as he was at the time.

At that time, Michael Jordan had already experienced the training of the "Bad Boys Army" several times, and his personal skills had already reached the peak.

And Kobe...

This is his first time leading a team alone and experiencing a big scene.

It is worth mentioning that tonight Kobe was not wearing his own No. 8 jersey, but Shaquille O'Neal's No. 32 jersey. This made the fans at the scene cry.

Originally, there had been some rumors this season. It was said that the "OK" group had sharp internal contradictions and was already somewhat distant from each other. There were constant infighting in the locker room.

Fans in Los Angeles were worried for a while.

But now, seeing this scene, they suddenly had nothing to worry about.

It even reminded them of the game between the Lakers and Pacers last season.

Reggie Miller and Kobe Bryant had a very fierce physical conflict, and the two even hit the technical stage. This is naturally what David Stern hates the most. It was a punishment for both people.

However, Reggie Miller was not suspended, but was fined a modest $25,000, while Kobe was not only fined, but also suspended for 2 games. This move by the league caused O'Neal to be extremely dissatisfied.

In the next game, O'Neal wore Kobe's jersey to play, using this behavior to support his own Pippen. In the end, O'Neal was fined $15,000. Later, O'Neal was very refreshing in an interview: I don't

The money is short, I just think they need to give Kobe justice justice.

The love between brothers is amazing.

And now, Kobe, who has returned to Los Angeles, has made the same move as O'Neal did at that time.

This not only breaks the rumors that the two people are not getting along, but also makes the story more warm and loving.

The shark is gone, but the Black Mamba with the spirit of a shark is still there!

This is what Kobe wanted to express.

Shaquille O'Neal couldn't help clenching his fists on the hospital bed. He was moved and felt sorry for Kobe because of his injury. He has always been a very emotional person.

It is worth mentioning that, looking at Kobe on TV, Shaquille O'Neal also had a strange emotion. The bad relationship that started when Hardaway did not sign for Kobe and he thoughtfully gave him his signature shoes has continued.

He has always been the one to defend Kobe. Whether it was three consecutive three-pointers in the playoffs, or the league's "fair" penalty, he was the one who stood in front of Kobe.

And now, it's Kobe's turn to stand in front of him...

Shaquille O'Neal, who just turned 30, certainly doesn't feel that he is old, but now he also realizes that Kobe has grown up!

"Little Pippen" has truly become "Pippen", and more importantly, this "Pippen" is very ambitious.

He wants to continue to maintain this rare and precious brotherhood.

At least he won't have any regrets when he retires in the future.

But the way we get along may need to make some changes...

Just wearing Shaq uniforms did not bring good luck to this team. They still lost their home court 97-109, and this was also the third game of the series.

The big score came to 3-0, which meant everything was over.

Whether it's the finals or the playoffs, there has never been a situation where a team was reversed from a 3-0 lead.

After all, after all, being able to score 3-0 means that the team itself is suppressed in terms of strength. It is not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong, but it is impossible to win 4 consecutive games.

Michael Jordan smiled again and left the visiting team's tunnel.

Some middle-aged Lakers fans couldn't help but stretch out their hands, wanting to high-five Michael Jordan.

They were defeated 11 years ago, and they were still defeated 11 years later. Time has taken away many things, but it seems that it has not taken away this guy's ability.

What does it mean to become more and more demonic as you get older? This is called becoming more and more demonic as you get older!

The Lakers' game once again proved that they have "ok" and they only have "ok"...

When o is not there, just a k will not defeat the opponent at all...

Big beads of sweat rolled down his face, and Kobe's face was full of unwillingness. Shaquille O'Neal had the urge to leave the hospital and go to Staples Arena to hug his little brother.

The media began to build momentum for Michael Jordan to win the championship as soon as he came back. The "god" seemed to be becoming more and more stable. Michael Jordan was in a good mood, and everyone on the team was given a car.

Especially Jiang Dalin. In Michael Jordan's view, he was the main contributor to the Wizards' championship because of his successful "Dui Zi"! He specially customized an off-road vehicle for Jiang Dalin from Ferrari.

As we all know, Ferrari does not have off-road vehicles, but regarding their relationship with Michael Jordan, since it was Jordan who spoke, they agreed.

Jiang Dalin was still very excited.

He certainly doesn't have the face to let Ferrari customize an off-road vehicle. This may be the only Ferrari off-road vehicle in the world.

Although the quality of the final car is definitely not as good as that of a brand that specializes in off-road vehicles, sometimes the value of the car mainly depends on the brand.

And he believes that Ferrari will not destroy its own brand name. Even if it is not good at making off-road vehicles, it will definitely not cut corners.

Speaking of which, there is a reason why Michael Jordan went through so much trouble.

In the two games that Jiang Dalin didn't play, although they won both, the weakness in the interior and the decline in the defensive quality of the entire team were noticed by him.

He knew very well that without Jiang Dalin, this team would probably not reach the finals.

If he really chooses Kwame Brown, he might not even be able to make the playoffs...

Now that his "divine status" is stable, he will be rewarded according to his merits, and Jiang Dalin should be the top one, which is why he went to sell face to Ferrari.

Although this little brother is annoying, he does play a key role.

Of course, the main reason is that Michael has a good vision. If you were someone else, you wouldn’t really dare to be the first to try something new!

Jordan increasingly feels that he has "bad luck" in selecting people...

Maybe Shaquille O'Neal and Jiang Dalin didn't expect that their injuries would make the rest of the team understand their value better.

"No matter what, we should defend our next home court and at least win one game!"

4-1 and 4-0 are completely different terms.

4-1 is still somewhat resistant, but 4-0 is a direct handover. How many stars can't hold their heads up because they were swept.

Just ask, why is Shaquille O'Neal so humble when mentioning Olajuwon?

Isn’t it because I was taught how to be a good person during 4-0 in the finals?

Also, the lack of confidence in the scolding battle with Karl Malone was also due to being swept by the "Postman" twice?

4-0 is a bit embarrassing.

Phil Jackson didn't want to lose just like that.

He didn't want Kobe and he didn't want either.

The two of them conspired together to feed their teammates "chicken soup" in various ways.

"Michael Jordan is an idiot!"

"How badly we were beaten by the Bad Boy Legion in the past!"

"If it weren't for me, Phil Jackson, would he be able to win two three consecutive championships?"

After talking about it, Phil Jackson was enjoying himself anyway.

Kobe is also comfortable.

The frustration of the past few days was gone.

Hmm...it feels so good to complain about others together yy.

It was just that they had managed to boost the morale of the rest of the Lakers, but suddenly a gust of wind came from the Washington media, saying that Jiang Dalin would not be able to play in the next game.

These reports caused panic throughout the Lakers team.

They are aware of the report on Jiang Dalin's injury. He needs to rest for at least a week because the swelling is severe...

It's only day 4 now. Isn't it normal that I won't be able to fight tomorrow?

What does it mean to suddenly set off this smoke bomb?

Is it possible that Jiang Dalin will make a comeback in the next game?

No way!

The pressure within the Lakers team dropped instantly.

Just Michael Jordan and Hamilton can't stop them. If Jiang Dalin also comes back, don't even think about the fifth game.

Barkley didn't believe that Jiang Dalin could play. He saw the photo of Jiang Dalin's ankle. It was so swollen that it would heal in just four days.

You can't risk your injury and come back, right?

But this is not necessary!

Could it be that he wants to compete for FMVP in the finals?

This is impossible. You have already missed two games and you still want to win FMVP?

Buckley was puzzled.

Kenny Smith, who was next to him, glanced at him and reminded: "That's right, is there a possibility... that he is indeed cured?"

Ha~

Buckley waved his hand, impossible, absolutely impossible!

But then Jiang Dalin jumped into the room amidst boos, making him stunned on the spot.

It seems like there are really no injuries, right?

Maybe it’s because he acted well?

This was Barkley's last act of stubbornness.

But Jiang Dalin announced with an opening dunk that "I am back as the king"!

"What kind of monster is this!"

Buckley was shocked.

He has played ball and been injured, and he actually has a certain professional understanding of the severity of injuries. As for Jiang Dalin's injury, it looks like there is nothing wrong with the bones, but it must have caused friction. Can it be recovered in 4 days?

Is this guy really that perverted?

It was not just him who lamented, but also the Lakers guys and the Lakers fans. Now they had completely given up. They had no chance of fighting in the first place, but now they were being beaten purely unilaterally.

Kobe is still the God of War with high morale.

But except for him, everyone else on the Lakers team is at a disadvantage.

After the third quarter, the Wizards already led by 19 points.

Wizards fans as far away as the Verizon Center in Washington were cheering for joy.

They wore uniform clothes today. This is a commemorative T-shirt specially prepared by the Wizards for their die-hard fans.

In the cartoon pattern on the front, Michael Jordan opens his arms to hug. Behind him, Jiang Dalin leaps high and grabs the ball in his hand, preparing to dunk it into the basket...

This is a scene that often appears in Wizards games this season.

It also happens to mean inheritance.

Except for the two of them, all other players are printed on the back, with the "Mask Man" in the middle, enjoying the status of the team's boss without Michael Jordan and Jiang Dalin.

It is said that the Wizards only customized 20,000 pieces of this dress, 15,000 of which were on site.

Yes, a total of about 15,000 spectators came to the entire Verizon Arena tonight. This arena, which only has about 12,000 spectators, was completely packed.

But even if they were standing, there were still a lot of Wizards fans willing to pay money to enter.

It's cheap, a standing ticket in the back row is only $10;

Secondly, when watching the game, what you want is a sense of atmosphere...

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Lakers, who had no hope of chasing points, gave up resistance and Phil Jackson took the lead in replacing Kobe Bryant.

With the towel on his head, Kobe's eyes were fixed on the scoreboard, as if he wanted to remember this score forever.

The cameras at the scene also gave Kobe this look many times.

Director Zhang saw it and described it as a "death stare": "The Wizards should be careful next season."

Although they have been swept now, as long as there are Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, this Lakers team cannot be underestimated.

The Lakers fans at the scene sighed. They had been prepared for a long time, but when the moment came when their dream of "three consecutive championships" was shattered, their expressions still couldn't help showing their unwillingness.

It's almost, just almost, that the Lakers can establish their own dynasty.

Kenny Smith also lamented: "It's really difficult to win three consecutive championships. It's not just about reaching the standard in terms of strength..."

Team atmosphere, the impact of injuries...these are all factors that hinder three consecutive championships.

It was also at this moment that Michael Jordan's two "three consecutive championships" became even more great!

Jiang Dalin also realized this. The Lakers failed to achieve the "three consecutive championships", which made Michael Jordan's divinity more stable.

But he didn't care at all.

Again, he and Michael Jordan can never be compared together.

Just like everyone says Michael Jordan is the "God of Basketball", but if someone brings up Bill Russell, you can't say that the latter's career is not as good as Michael Jordan...

There is indeed only one "God of Basketball".

But there can be many great NBA legends.

The more important part of Michael Jordan is his personal influence. In this regard, Jiang Dalin is not a native American player, so he has a disadvantage.

The pride of the NBA will not allow an international player to become the greatest player in this league.

In short, Jiang Dalin's goal is definitely not to surpass Michael Jordan.

To a certain extent no one can do it.

Including later Kobe, LeBron James, Curry and so on.

If you want to catch up with Michael Jordan, you should first retire and cause a big shock on Wall Street.

Therefore, the influence cannot be compared, but the honor is not necessarily comparable. Jiang Dalin is not yet 20 years old. Assuming that he can play until the age of 40, there will still be nearly 21 years left...

"Man, don't be so grim. We are about to win the championship. Although you have missed two games, your contribution will last!"

Scott didn't know when he stood next to Jiang Dalin and slapped him on the shoulder, disrupting his thoughts.

But Scott was really right. After all, Jiang Dalin cashed out Shaquille O'Neal.

"Seriously, if I were a reporter, I would definitely vote for Darling!"

Barkley said: "I think everyone knows what really makes the finals no suspense..."

Of course, there is also some selfishness, because he doesn't want to see Michael Jordan win the FMVP championship again.

Why?

Why can he win the championship and FMVP as soon as he comes back!

Shivering!

Barkley wasn't the only one unconvinced tonight.

In Toronto, Ewing, who was packing his luggage, looked at Michael Jordan walking off the court and shook his head slightly: "This kid is really lucky!"

It's been like this since college...

You know, the person who made the final shot was not Michael Jordan, but the ball got into his hands by some strange combination of circumstances, and he completed the game-winner.

From then on, Michael Jordan officially entered the "realm of God".

Now that I am getting older, there is a super talented newcomer Jiang Dalin appearing next to me.

This is crazy...

Has America’s decades of basketball luck been sucked away by an old boy named Michael?

In a bar in Seattle, Gary Payton also pointed at the TV screen and said: "Wow, this coin won another championship!"

Karl Malone, who had returned to Salt Lake City from Washington, was particularly dissatisfied. Looking at Michael Jordan sitting next to Jiang Dalin, although the camera had turned to other places, Karl Malone became more and more angry as he thought about that scene.

Does he deserve to sit there?

That's obviously my place!

Jiang Dalin's invitation suddenly appeared in the "postman's" mind, and his heart that had not yet made up his mind suddenly became much firmer at this moment.

There is no shortage of honors, nor much money. There is indeed a championship ring missing from the cabinet...

Why don't you vote?

Anyway, Michael Jordan himself said that he will be the second child starting from next season. When I go to Washington, I don’t hug his thigh, but Jiang Lin’s thigh...

Karl Malone gradually conquers himself.

Just like when he originally made up his mind to go to the Lakers, what he thought in his heart was "That fat guy lost to me twice, so I won't count on him if I go"...

The reason why "licking dogs" don't consciously want to "lick" is that they always have a reason to convince themselves to continue "licking". They call it "I don't call it licking, I call it the pursuit of love."

Karl Malone also muttered at the end: "I'm not going to hug Jiang's thigh, but he said himself that he needs me to guide him..."

On the court, the buzzer symbolizing the end of the game sounded at this time, and the 2001-02 NBA season also came to an end.

Although the disappointed Kobe was reluctant, he still stepped forward and hugged Michael Jordan.

Jordan smiled and said in his ear: "You young people will rule the world next!"

These words made Kobe's calm heart suddenly become turbulent again. Because, he did not seize the last opportunity to challenge Michael Jordan head-on...

Michael Jordan will be 40 years old next year.

Although defeating the 39-year-old Michael Jordan is nothing special.

But at least you have to fight against Michael Jordan while he still has the energy. Even if Michael Jordan continues to play the next year, he said that he is just enjoying the league in which he has been in for nearly 20 years.

In fact, with Michael Jordan's prowess in the NBA, he has to have a retirement tour no matter what...

He didn't make the playoffs in the first season after his comeback last season. He did this all the time. This time he has won 7 championships and his personality is solid. I'm afraid he will have to do it even more.

Even if he wanted to retire now, David Stern would not agree to it.

It’s hard to finish such a great script, but you want to leave before I can get enough?

After hugging, Kobe high-fived Jiang Dalin again, ignored the hanging man who was tired of running the dog, and went straight into the player tunnel.

Hamilton is very sad. Even if I do miss you in the next two games, you can't do this to me, right?

Returning to the locker room, Kobe immediately took out his mobile phone, which contained a comforting message from Vanessa. Then another message was sent.

From "Shark" O'Neal.

——Man, you have done a good job. Next season, let’s work together to get back what we lost!

With just these words, Kobe's eyes rekindled his fierce fighting spirit. It was much more effective than Vanessa's mouth.

——This summer, shall we train together?

He sent this message to Shaquille O'Neal.

This was the first time he had sent such a message to "Shark". He thought the guy would hesitate. He was famously not a fan of training in the Lakers.

But what Kobe didn't expect was that Shaquille O'Neal agreed...

In fact, if the "big shark" who originally completed three consecutive championships saw such a message, he would definitely sneer, "I have three consecutive FMVPs, do I still need to train with you?"

I am invincible, okay?

At that time, all Shaquille O'Neal wanted was to maintain his performance and then retire with the last big contract of his career.

This is also the reason why he did not have toe surgery. He was afraid that the surgery would affect his condition and thus be priced down by the Lakers.

Unfortunately, he failed to get what he wanted in the end. The bad relationship with Kobe gave the Lakers a reason to trade him.

Parker Riley should really thank the Lakers and Kobe. If their actions and words hadn't caused dissatisfaction with Shaquille O'Neal, O'Neal, who had received a big contract, would definitely have been left alone.

This can be seen from his growing figure.

It can also be seen from his performance after being traded to the Suns, Cavaliers and Celtics. Maybe his performance when leading the team alone in the Suns was not bad, but that is also for a reason. Steve Nash and him While chatting together, I mentioned a variety show idea and asked him to produce it first.

Steve Nash was very angry, and there was a gap between the two, so Shaquille O'Neal worked hard to prove that he was the bigger player...but it was only that period of time.

At that time, he proved that he could still win the championship without Kobe, and without a goal, he almost changed his old club every year...

But now, Shaquille O'Neal, who has not won three consecutive championships and is just 30 years old, is absolutely eager to prove himself, especially with Jiang Dalin, who still has one unfinished series.

Therefore, Kobe asked him to train with him, and he agreed without hesitation.

He knew that Kobe trained hard, and as long as he could keep up with his training rhythm, it would definitely be helpful for his recovery after surgery.

Now that he has undergone surgery, all Shaquille O'Neal can do now is to do rehabilitation training and try to get back to his peak condition so that he can get a maximum salary contract in the summer of 2004.

There were shouts for Michael Jordan.

Even though they were Lakers fans, at this moment, they still cheered and shouted spontaneously.

Because this man’s name is “Michael Jordan”!

Michael Jordan stood up and waved, calmly responding to the cheers at the scene, and at the same time cast a disdainful look at "junior" Haywood, who looked excited and wanted to hug him: "You are only good for this, you just get a

Just the championship!"

Is this worth getting excited about?

Heywood was stunned when he said this directly.

Looking at that expression, I was afraid that Heywood would cry again if he continued talking.

The old man started to show off again.

Jiang Dalin rolled his eyes at him and took the initiative to hug Heywood: "It's right to be excited. We are young people and have the vigor of young people. That guy is old and it's normal not to be excited. I dare say he is now morning

I have to stare for a while when I wake up, and no one can pull me back..."

Michael Jordan:…

Since that documentary, this guy has become less and less concerned about public places.

"Let us congratulate the Wizards, who successfully won the championship in the 2001-02 season!"

Smith shouted congratulations.

Everyone on the Wizards team, who had been jumping around for a while, put on uniform championship T-shirts.

"Let us congratulate Dalin for winning the championship trophy in the first season of his career!" Director Zhang also shouted on the domestic commentary stage.

Kobe, who had already returned to the locker room, returned to the entrance of the tunnel at some point, silently watching the Raptors in the center of the court as they lifted the O'Brien Trophy.

He should remember this scene, motivate himself, and climb to a higher mountain.

Although it is no longer possible to challenge Michael Jordan, climbing with him as a goal is still a worthy challenge!

And...in terms of honors, he may not be able to catch up with Michael Jordan.

He is only 24 years old this year and already has 2 championship trophies.

Does the 24-year-old Michael Jordan know what "championship" means?

Kobe feels that he has surpassed Michael Jordan at the same age...

Thinking about it this way, he felt that he had great hope of catching up with Jordan.

When the trophy was handed from Michael Jordan's hand to Jiang Dalin's, huge cheers erupted from the Wizards' home court. Since the documentary came out, no matter what Michael Jordan handed to Jiang Dalin, they all felt it was a legacy.

Just now Michael Jordan handed Jiang Dalin a bottle of water, which moved them to tears.

This feeling of having a present and a future is really wonderful!

The domestic fans in front of the TV were also excited. Although they did not see the documentary during the live broadcast, subsequent media reports still mentioned this matter.

Now everyone knows that Jiang Dalin is Michael Jordan's designated successor to the league.

This is an honor that Kobe, Carter, McGrady, and Iverson have not been able to enjoy, but Jiang Dalin actually achieved it!

For this group of fans who have grown up watching the Bulls Finals video, this is a very cool thing.

Michael Jordan is indeed the "God of Basketball" in their hearts!

Of course, when they found out that Jiang Dalin was talking to Michael Jordan, they called him "old man" and yelled at him to retire as soon as possible every day.

They felt that this guy was even more amazing.

The "God of Basketball" felt a little aggrieved in order to win a championship...

It may be for this reason that more than ten years later, when fans discuss Jordan from the Bulls and Jordan from the Wizards, they still think they are different, even if Michael Jordan came back and won the championship again...

Jiang Dalin held the trophy high, his eyes filled with emotion.

Many superstars in the 1990s never won this trophy in their entire lives, but they did it in the first season of their career.

This is probably the "Son of the Plane"!

The only pity is that he did not participate enough in this championship. He missed two of the four games in total.

He only averaged a mediocre 14 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks per game...

But again, in terms of contribution, Jiang Dalin is the best, and Michael Jordan's contribution is not even as good as him!

As a result, this old man robbed him of the FMVP in the finals. He was so angry that I, the "son of the plane," had never suffered such injustice!

Yes, even if the final result has not come out yet, everyone knows that this FMVP must be Michael Jordan.

In 4 games, he averaged 22.5 points, 4 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 41.2%...

Except for assists, he is not the best player on the Wizards in every statistic. Hamilton averages 24 points per game and is higher than him. His shooting percentage is also as high as 45%!

He wins in all aspects and his name is Michael Jordan.

But in terms of gains, Jiang Dalin gained a lot from this injury. Just the Nike contract and the rights to operate his personal signature shoes in China were enough to make him laugh.

The final result was not beyond everyone’s expectations.

Michael Jordan gets this FMVP…

When David Stern said the result, Michael Jordan was as calm and calm as ever, with no change in his expression at all. However, when he took over the Finals FMVP from David Stern, he almost failed to catch it.

, his trembling hands still betrayed him. At this moment, he was actually very excited!

Too!

Can you not be excited?

At the beginning of the season, he said that his comeback was just for fun and to boost everyone's morale.

But having said that, it can be seen from his active preparation for comeback that he came back with great energy!

And now, the final result was so beautiful that he couldn't even believe it!

When he heard that he had once again won the Finals Most Valuable Player Award, his heart really trembled.

The story belonging to the "God of Basketball" comes to a perfect end.

Now he has no burden at all!

When he held the trophy high, Jiang Dalin standing next to him was equally conspicuous.

Kenny Smith said with some pity: "If Darling had not been injured, this FMVP would probably be his..."

Director Zhang also said with some regret: "Da Lin is still a bit regretful this season!"

Almost won the "Best Defensive Player Award", almost won the "Finals FMVP"...

Of course, they just sighed and sighed. The reason is very simple...

On this day, June 8, Jiang Dalin is 19 years and 295 days old!

Being young means infinite possibilities!

Maybe this is why he is so eye-catching standing next to Michael Jordan!

Um……

It's definitely not because of his colorful hair.

Back in the locker room, a champagne war started, but it was 1vn. Under the leadership of Jiang Dalin, everyone poured champagne on Michael Jordan's bald head...

Because of this, Jordan was late for the post-game press conference.

Sitting next to him, Jiang Dalin, who was also a speaker like him, asked him as he sat down: "Old man, are you embarrassed to ask everyone to wait for you?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter.

Michael Jordan rolled his eyes at him.

Do you have the nerve to say that it took me so long to take a bath if you didn't ask them to pour champagne on my head?

Could it be that I came to the press conference smelling of alcohol?

Is the "God of Basketball" shameless?

What made Michael Jordan even more angry was that Jiang Dalin asked them to pour champagne at him, but they poured it without hesitation. That's called being obedient.

Co-authorship has already changed dynasties, right?

Michael Jordan suddenly felt that his "little brother" in the FMVP team in the finals was not as good as a dog...
